Even then it will be forgotten in time. Who remembers the 16 million Fords recalled because they could catch on fire due to the cruise control switch?

It never seemed like GM ever acknowledged the reason for the problem. So yes, I could find out reading some magazine or looking it up on some website. By if I were a customer of GM, I'd preffer that GM tells me what's going on. It's the communication problem that I've heard Bolt owners complain about. It took months for GM to admit there was a problem, and never explained what that problem could be. And as far as I know, they still haven't.
